Elbeau Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 I moved here from Las Vegas in July. Setting up two nano reefs was my first priority. They're cycled now and decently stocked. I think I've found most of the local stores. Can somebody give me a list of local resources. Also...does anybody want to trade scoops of refugium substrate...I love to diversify when I can.

GKarshens Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 Welcome to the club! The best stores happen to be our sponsors (not just saying that either). I only have Live rock rubble and macro in my refugium. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomanero Posted October 7, 2007 Share Posted October 7, 2007 Just a few I had saved... http://www.regal-plastics.com/austin.html Regal Plastics for acrylic and Weld-On http://www.hardwarestoreinc.com/ This is a local mom and pop hardware store (to which I have no affiliation) but if it's beyond the realm of Lowes or HDepot you'll find it here in regards to plumbing supplies (all size hose, spaflex by the foot), nylon bolts, fittings, etc., etc. It's a DIY'ers heaven. lol http://coralreefbazaar.com/store.php Another good local source for the "harder-to-find" items. I'm sure you've found the local stores but I'll list two. http://www.rivercityaquatics.com/ Great people. Carlos and his staff are always there for you (buying or not). (Where I come from it's called "doin da right ting") lol http://www.kingfishaquarium.com/index.htm An "up-and-commer" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
